One should stick to the sort of thing for which one was made; I tried to be an herbalist, whereas I should keep to the butcher's trade.
By the work one knows the workman.
By time and toil we sever what strength and rage could never.
Be advised that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them.
Everyone has his faults which he continually repeats; neither fear nor shame can cure them.
Help yourself and heaven will help you.
Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.
To hell with pleasure that's haunted by fear!
We are never content with our lot.
It is impossible to please all the world and one's father.
A hungry stomach cannot hear.
Patience and passage of time do more than strength and fury.
In short, Luck's always to blame.
The worst time is always the present.
We risk all in being too greedy.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
What a wonderful thing it is to have a good friend. He identifies your innermost desires, and spares you the embarrassment of disclosing them to him yourself.
Every newspaper editor owes tribute to the devil.
Even if misfortune is only good for bringing a fool to his senses, it would still be just to deem it good for something.
It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
I bend, but I do not break.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
In this world we must help one another.
The more wary you are of danger, the more likely you are to meet it.
